classes inputbox and inputbutton added

an administrator can style commentbox elements with, for example,
div.commentbox input.inputbox { ... }

This version adds a couple of lightweight comment spam deterrents:

$MaxLinkCount is set to 1 by default. If a post contains more than
$MaxLinkCount links, it is ignored.

$commentboxaccesscode is set to false by default. If set to true,
a poster is prompted to enter a randomly-generated number from
100 to 999.

An administrator can set these to different values in local/config.php
*before* including commentbox.php.
